The Aggies (4-9) erased a four-point halftime deficit, opening the second half with an early 10-2 surge to assume the lead.

Air Force (6-5) pulled back on top with a Marek Olesinski layup and a 3-pointer by Max Yon, but UC Davis responded. Georgi Funtarov gave the Aggies the lead back with a tip in and Hawkins hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 17-3 run, pushing UC Davis to its largest lead, 61-48 with 8:49 remaining.

The Falcons pulled within four on a Justin Hammonds layup with 2:16 left, but three Hawkins free throws and an Iggy Nujic layup put the game out of reach.
